“Just ate here for the first time and can't wait to come back. Friendly and quick service, affordable prices, delicious food and large portions! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. This Mapo Tofu Ramen was good, but definitely on the sweet side and different than most ramen. I loved the flavor and tofu though.“
“I come here a lot. I’ve been trying a wide variety of dishes, and for the most part they’re great. Grilled dumplings are excellent, as are the chow meins, particularly the black pepper sauce. Curry noodle soup is a favorite. I tried the orange chicken this week, which I usually don’t order, but it was the best I’ve had. Salt and pepper pork chops were very good. Family run.“
“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“
“Casual family-run Vietnamese spot that serves classic eats. Came here for dinner at 8pm on a weeknight with a friend and there was no wait. Parking is available in the back. Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. There was a Yelp check in deal where you could get 5% off your bill. We ordered some spring rolls as apps to share and they were very crispy. I had the pho tai and it was very filling. I liked the broth and the leftovers kept fairly well the following day.“
“This place is so good !! Everyone is always polite. Also for 2 appetizers, 2 ramens and 2 drinks everything came out to 54-55 dollars !! That's literally cheap compared to other ramen spots that be coming out to 70 etc dollars! On top of that it's good decent ramen. My boyfriend and I were craving ramen but didn't want to spend so much money and this place is definitely budget friendly“
“We sat at the communal table and enjoyed looking at the aesthetically pleasing feasts our neighbors ordered! We shared a bento box with fresh sashimi, crispy tempura, and warm side meats served with colorful condiments. Once we placed our name on the waitlist, we enjoyed a stroll until our number was called. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is friendly, both from guests and servers. Next time, we will order the soups and noodle combinations.“
“The woman who attended me was amazing!! I really loved the strawberry milk and the pork belly was very delicious. I was just a little disappointed in the egg since it was warm on the outside but really cold in the inside which made me lose my appetite. The noodles also tasted too much like eggs in which I don’t really enjoy. The soup was really good though and again the pork belly tastes amazing!!“
“This is probably the most popular place to get your lunch at from students and faculty at El Camino College. Every meeting I'm at around lunch time I see someone eating from Mr. H. I really love their spamasubi and their miso soup. It reminds me of my high school days when people would sell spamasubi from their backpacks. The place has a few tables and chairs to sit on if you are looking to dine in or wait for your food. Cool thing about their service too is they have a buzzer for when your food is ready. Sometimes it takes a little long to get the food to come out but it's always hot and ready to eat when they do.“
“Got lucky today after arriving at LAX. On our way home we found this spot! Yelp gave 4.5 stars. Absolutely delighted with my experience at this pho restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that left my taste buds in awe. The ambiance was enhanced by the charming touch of traditional music, creating a delightful atmosphere. What truly stood out was the exceptional service - always delivered with a genuine smile. A 5-star gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience!“
“Had such a delicious dinner here. We knew they were known for their soba and tempura and we enjoyed these for sure, but I can’t stop thinking about the Berkshire pork rice dish! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was so friendly. Also thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and portions. I’m looking forward to going back!Parking: Limited free parking lot in the back“
“Parking is really easy even on weekends. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is friendly. The menu has lots of different food options. This place is great to hang out with friends and family to catch up or meet up. Our party had a baby, they have high chairs and staff were very accommodating, we did not feel like a nuisance while dining here. When the baby was rowdy and there was a lobby area just a short walk away to calm the baby down with various Japanese decor.“
“Amazing delicious food and the best customer service!! The food has so much flavor and you can tell it's made fresh when you order it. I've gotten noodles and sandwiches here and everything is always so good. The drinks are delicious as well. The owner is hands down the best owner ever, such a genuine and kind soul. We will absolutely be back again and again!“
“Great food. Portions are great @ the right price. I had the Pinapple Fried Rice w/beef & it had the perfect blend of all the added ingredients. Had the Sa-Tae Chicken appetizer w/the peanut sauce. Tasted delicious. I'm not a native of Long Beach, but came here a lot before Covid. First time trying this place. I highly recommend it.“
“I was in the neighborhood and accidentally discover Jidaiya. Being the first time dining there, I was pleasantly surprised. We had the Tonkotsu shio ramen and the broth flavor was intense and rich, just the way I like it. Also had generous portion of topping and veggies. I especially love the sheets of seaweed and spoonful of toasted sesame that added the crunch, flavor and texture to the ramen. The only minor imperfection were the thinly sliced chashu. Sadly they were not my favorite as it's slight on the lean, tougher side. Please improve on the chashu, other than that, it's an awesome bowl of ramen! The noodles were cooked el dente. I'm a ramen snob and this place is pretty legit! We also order a side of takoyaki. These were one of the largest takoyaki, with a nice outer crunch and soft, gooey filling with plenty of octopus. If you're very hungry, they offer a combo with the order of ramen. The combo are very fair priced and lot of selection to choose from. Friendly service, proactive about asking if we needed 2 smaller bowls as we were sharing a bowl of ramen. The ambience is dated but feels homey like a true mom and pop shop. Though the dated feel didn't bother me much since the food is pretty good. I mean, come on, where can you find a bowl of decent ramen that still cost under $15!! Talk about value and good food. Regarding napkins, there were boxes of tissues. Which I thought it was a nice gesture as it's soft. With the hot bowl of soup, I appreciate the little touch of soft tissues. It's an odd thing, but it was thoughtful. I highly suggest this place whenever you're in the neighborhood. It's hard to be a small business especially in this economy. Let's support them and keep them going. Thanks for having us. Food's is delicious! I know we'll be back.“
“Our server, Kaitlin was really great and recommended many things for us to try. After hearing about din tai fung for months, it was worth the wait. we ordered the cucumber salad, pork soup dumplings, string beans, shrimp noodles, and spicy wontons. Everything was good but the standouts were the cucumber salad and the pork soup dumplings.“
“Never had ramen broth that wasn't made from pork. The taste was amazing, light, refreshing and less oilier than tonkotsu. The noodles were boiled to perfection, chewy and delicious. The TanTan Men were tasty as well, the peanut broth wasn't too overpowering. I will definitely go back again in the near future.“
“For the ultimate Korean-Chinese dining experience in South Bay, look no further. Dive into authentic Jja Jang Myeon and Jjam Ppong at this must-visit establishment. Whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned foodie, it's the perfect starting point. Don't miss out on trying the Gan Jja Jang--it's a rare find with its smoky wok flavor, generous portions of diced onions and squash, and a less oily consistency compared to traditional Jja Jang Myeon. Highly recommended!“
“I’ve been looking for a good place to eat in Long Beach away from the chains by the Pike and I was very pleased with Charm Siam. My friends and I got the Boat Noodle and Pad Thai, both were flawless with flavor you won’t get anywhere else. I was pleased by the menu, many dishes were authentic and sometimes harder to find at other Thai restaurants I’ve tried. Our servers were kind and attentive. Excellent place to eat and my top choice for Long Beach. Prices are reasonable, rarely going above 15$ average.“
“1st time trying out this place! I had the garlic bomb, level 3, and YES, it was an explosion of flavors!The pork was delicious, and the broth was flavorful, but a bit salty for my taste, and yet finished the entire bowl! It was a bit busy on a Friday evening and took about 10 minutes to be seated.“
“These were really great crab wontons or rangoons whatever! Nice flavorful crispiness. I would have really preferred to dip into the same sweet and sour sauce that was drizzled on top instead of the water spicy mayo so will request that change if there is a future visit. I have a sore throat so didn’t want any spice in my ramen. Overall good but think the sauce was on the more bland side compared to say Jinya. Probably more flavor as spice levels increase. The soft boiled egg was done perfectly. Overall enjoyed my meal“
“Cash only. Busy lunch location for the area. Standard menu items that cover rice to noodles, a big menu for a small mom and pop shop. Small parking lot can get hard to get out of during rush hour. Maybe easier to park on the street instead.“
“The duck is incredible!!! Period! My food was so good that I totally forgot to take a picture of my plate before I started eating ? I loved it and will go back! Wrist check, I am wearing the Seiko Presage Prestige SARX045 JDM release on the Hirsch Liberty leather strap.“
“I had lunch at this restaurant with my friend when we were visiting LA, and I'm so glad we stumbled across it! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was so friendly. One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to, and definitely somewhere I'll be visiting again the next time I'm in town!“
“The restaurant is in a nondescript strip mall, and the interior is jam-packed with tables. More tables are located in the back. Not any atmosphere to speak of. Super busy on a Sunday evening when we visited, and the service was slow as a result. Sampled noodles, sashimi, and ton-Katsu, and all the food was good. Moderately priced.“
“I first tried Hiro Nori in 2018 and it's been my preferred ramen since then. The menu is small and definitely not complicated at all. The tonkotsu is really good because it is thick and creamy. The shoyu is my favorite one, though. I like to add on some broccolini, chili paste, and garlic.I like that the edamame has lemon and that the water is infused.“
“Love the food it tastes so good and happy that there's a Cambodian restaurant that opens late while other Cambodian restaurant aren't open . Highly recommend this spot to grab a bite or order food it's the best food in town you will come back again for their Southeast Asian food. Try it out.“
“Such a great place to go and eat for comfort Japanese foods! Fukagawa has a big menu with so many items to choose from but I went with the special fish combo with salmon and cold soba. Along with the salmon and cold soba, it came with 4 pieces of Cali roll, a salad, miso soup and bowl of rice. Portion size was decent and they all tasted so good! Service was great and the servers were super nice! We also ordered the recommended mochi dessert. It was good but nothing special. I don't think we would order it again. I would love to come back and try other foods on their menu!“
“My son and I loved this place because it is one of the best ramen restaurants in Long Beach and is comparable to ramen quality in Japan! We know what excellent ramen is, and we also know what excellent customer service is because my son was born and raised in Japan, and I lived in Japan for 30 years. The previous staff was great, but the new staff has made a lot of mistakes, and they don't seem to care as much. We tell them that we like our noodles "firm" or in Japanese "かた麺” or "Katamen". Requesting the firmness of noodles in Japan is normal. The other day, I requested firm noodles, and when I got home they had given us thick noodles instead. We used to love this place, but now we are very disappointed.“
“Feeling under the weather, so I came here for some pho. This is my second time coming here, unfortunately, no pictures were taken as I demolished the chicken pho I ordered. This place closes early and is only open during the week, but it is totally worth it if you can swing by. The chicken broth is so flavorful and you can request it spicy, which gives it an amazing kick. The service was good, and a few families were inside eating. It's a hole in the wall, but those are the best authentic places to eat.“
“First time found it through yelp I'm trying to go to more small businesses and find places that can accommodate me. I got the orange chicken because it didn't have soy and the person I was with got the Mongolian beef with noodles. I ordered on the phone the person was very sweet and knowledgeable and very considerate about my allergies. Everything arrived very sealed tight in plastic accept for my orange chicken and it had a cool opener the radish it looked like it was seasoned with ginger. It came with a side of rice. I felt I didn't really need the rice because the orange chicken was so flavorful. I like the idea of Korean Chinese fusion! Definitely will be coming back here.“
“A delicious ramen shop that even foreigners line up.The tonkotsu was bubbling.A tonkotsu ramen shop with strong beliefs and quality.I put all the toppings on top, but I thought it might have been better to put the toppings on a separate plate without sacrificing the quality of the ramen, so I recommend using a separate plate if you want to put the toppings on a separate plate.I thought it was a waste.I just lined up in the same line as I did the first time I went.There is a machine at the entrance that issues reservation tickets, so start there.Otherwise, you won't be called even if you wait.be careful.Wheelchair accessibility: There were some people eating in wheelchairs, so I think it's easy to come.“
“Love this restaurant. The wait time was supposed to be 20+ minutes but I feel like I got it in less time. It's nice to see everyone working at a tolerable speed where I don't think they're stressed out and orders aren't taking more than 20 mins. My experience with Kimbap at other restaurants is they take more than 30 mins because they're also dealing with online orders, phone orders and in house orders. But I believe everyone at this restaurant was doing that but still making good time management without sacrificing the quality and presentation of the food. I had an order of beef kimbap and an order of spam Kimbap. I'm looking forward to trying out more of the menu here when I'm in the area.“
“Sushi Boy has always been our go to place for sushi and party platters. For Christmas, we ordered a California platter at their location in Torrance on 190th St. Glad they're ipen on Christmas day 2022. The place looks rundown and dark and not appealing but the service was good and everyone was friendly. Placing an order was easy and our order was ready for pick up upon our arrival. They are in the same plaza as Walmart close to Starbucks. Lots of parking available. The California platter comes with California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and salmon rolls. Everyone loved it and everything was fresh. They also give you the wasabi, ginger, soy sauce, little bowls for your sushi dipping. All was great and it was the hit at our party. Thank you Sushi Boy for providing fresh and delicious sushi and thank you for being open on holidays. We appreciate you!!!“
“My partner and I have been coming here nearly every 2 weeks for a long time and they have never let us down!! The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is always delicious. Lots of great vegetarian and vegan options as well! We recommend this place to everyone we know, 10/10!“
“Been wanting to try this place out. I got a to-go order and ordered the combo number 1, spring rolls and Thai tea. The soup is really good! I love the broth and it's probably one of the best I've ever tasted so far. The spring rolls were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the peanut sauce, but it wasn't terrible. And the Thai tea tasted pretty good! It was a little pricey, more than i had hoped to spend, but mostly worth it when im dying from a cold and want pho lol. I'd recommend this place to people wanting pho and I'd definitely come again. When ordering, the guy on the phone was very nice and when paying as well. All in all, I had a great experience.“
“First time here. Got their Fried Chicken Curry and the Shischo Ramen to go. Both were outstanding! Perfectly done noodles backed up by broths that bring the flavor for days! For the first visit we went with the lowest heat levels. For my wife, the level one Curry was hot enough. For me, I'm looking forward to ramping up the heat next time! Not a large establishment but worth the wait...Parking: Have you battle the parking for the other restaurants on this end of the parking lot, plus the madness from the In-and-Out lines.“
“Went there for my first time last night around opening time, very friendly customer service experience. I enjoyed my 'Fire Bowl Ramen' (Intermediate / 2nd Spice level) so much that I drank most of the broth. The general atmosphere felt like I was in Japan again, it may not be everyone's liking, but I personally enjoy dimly lit ambiance for a dinner setting.“
“First timer here. Huge portion sizes, good prices, and they offer more meats compared to other pho spots. The to go bowl is HUGE. You’re eating straight from a bowl vs a styrofoam container you usually get from other pho spots. That’s a huge plus for me. I will be coming back ??“
“I was in the area and was hungry to have a bite...saw this place while driving and decided to try the drive thru...it was all ramen and can't eat while driving and then finally found that they sell gyoza and karaage...i decided to order one of each...not at all disappointed for a drive thru...wow the karaage was moist juicy and most of all crunchy...and the fried gyoza was not dry and tasty as well...the service was also good....definitely will be visiting the place again if and when in the area...Thks for an awesome bite...“
“All-you-can-eat ramen OR all-you-can-eat shabu, which would you choose??? I’m like the most indecisive person ever, so if you’re like me, luckily we don’t have to choose at Momo Paradise!I’ve probably been to the Rowland Heights location over 20 times, so that’s a testament to how much I love this place, even over the years!You can make your own bowl of ramen at the Farmer’s Market station with the freshest ingredients. Order your favorite cuts of high-quality meats with your server, my favorite is the Kurobuta pork shoulder. They were out of the Beef eye of round when we went.Not to mention there’s a build-your-own boba station AND unlimited beef curry rice that might be my favorite out of everything there!Thanks for reading! ^-^“
“One of the best galbi tang I've had and not just in the South Bay, but all of LA. I've been to plenty of places in Ktown and I still prefer Hansol. The portion is huge, bachan is delicious, and the meat is juicy. They give you two giant ribs per portion. I can't speak to anything else on the menu since this is all I ordered, but my friend also enjoys their chicken katsu. 100% worth coming. To go is equally good. Great for a cold day!“
“Tara Thai Restaurant in Redondo Beach, California is a gem! The owner, a delightful lady, offers impeccable customer service. If you find yourself on this side of town, it's a must-visit for some truly authentic Thai food. Their menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, from classic Pad Thai to flavorful curries and stir-fries. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual meal or a special night out. Don't miss out on this fantastic dining experience!“
“My family and I had ordered the #14 that contained all the meats and let me tell you that this soup is Delicious. The broth has that good beef taste and they give you plenty of noodles in the soup. The ambience here is calm. Not much people here. The service was great! I would definitely recommend coming here if you are in a mood for a tasty pho soup!“
“The service was fast and good. The waiter gave us some additional time to go over the menu and returned promptly when we were ready to order. The food came out fast and was hot. Fried rice was not greasy. Restaurant was clean and no wait time. Definitely will come back and try the noodles.“
“Beautiful sushi with great views, good vibes and kind staff. Great selection of sake and good to come for events. Lovely sashimi selections as well as more standard rolls such as the dragon or caterpillar roll. Highly recommend coming on a warm day and sitting outside.“
“Absolutely delicious if you like thick noodles and thick broth! I got the large red miso bowl and I was definitely satisfied. The noodles were chewy and had the right amount of bite. While I liked the broth it could have been a little hotter in temperature. Definitely a great addition to the South Bay noods scene.“
“Food is definitely not my favorite pho, but it's pretty solid. It's a a little sweet which is not really what I expect out of pho and the broth is also on the milder side. As for service, it's very good. I had my food served in around 5-8ish minutes starting from when I first sat down. One gripe I do have is the quality of the disposable chopsticks though. While the second set I grabbed was fine, the first set was slightly green and one of the sticks was split.All in all though, I'd probably come back to this place.“
“Food was decent here. I got the Dumpling combo which let me have 4 of each of their Dumpling flavors. I was hoping for more flavor. Nothing spectacular here, but still an okay meal if you like light flavor. They had multiple sauces that were also light on the flavor. I may need to try their Potstickers to see if having it fried makes a flavor difference. The Hot and Sour Soup had lots of ingredients and they didn't skimp on them. Like the dumplings, there wasn't as much flavor here as I'd expect. Both items had a good amount of food for the serving. Parking is easy as it is located on the non-busy side of a shopping complex. Service was mediocre. When I was asking about their options, the servers weren't really making it seem like they believed in their own product. There was a subtle indifference in my interaction. The restaurant was clean with lots of seating. Not sure if I would go back for what I ordered, but I may still give those Potstickers a try.“
“I ordered the shrimp rice bowl and the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was nice and juice, my kid loved it. I didn't realize the shrimp wasn't deveined or deshelled, and it was slightly overcooked. I craved more of the pickled carrots and I believe if they added pickles onions it would set it off for real for real. The meal as a whole was good though.“
“New Thai food in town. Everything so yummy. I really like my crab rolls and noodle soups. Just recommended if you not like spicy that much get mild is better cause of medium here is pretty spicy. Nice ambience, simple and clean. Good and fast service my food came out fast. I'll be back here again when I'm in town. :)“
